My 1 &Acirc;&frac12; y/o filter is making noises pumps air bubbles often. When taken apart, water comes out from the crack around the housing. What to do?

It sounds like you may need a new motor seal oring. Unfortunately this is not a part that we carry separately.

Did you give it a little time to saturate the filter? Unless you did something putting the new filter on, which I am not sure what that could be. Giving the filter time to fill is all I can think of. Good luck.

I am not an appliance technician. Possibly the problem is with the o-ring seal. Not the filter. If you still have the old one try swapping the o-ring from the filter you removed. Other than that I have no idea.

I know that happens with me when I don't take it apart and clean it. I have gotten in the habit of cleaning it every month to month and a half when I change the filter. I take the front off, clean the inside, and clean the area around it. I hope this helps!

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products... I suggest checking the following and if that fails call our help line at 1-800-845-4856. Check if the intake or propeller is jammed with debris, if the filter bag is over full. There may also be a small spring issue on the valve flap. If so again please feel free to call our 800 line.

mine has great outflow, check your pump output?? pump size ample to do the job?? filter plugged??? is the red flag in the bubble showing the filter plugged??

Same thing happened to me with the filter collapsing--I plan to check status of filter every so often and apply glue if needed. I believe the glue dries out prematurely.

sometimes little pieces of sand/dirt get into the filter pump. take it out of water, take hose off and blow into the pump itself to clear it. mine also stops at times because the kids play in my fountain and get small debris in it......good luck

The is a common problem with average or low quality motors especially when the filter becomes old. The resolution is to replace the filter, clean the motor thoroughly, let it dry, re-install it with a new filter and make sure the water level is correct. In addition please make sure you are keeping the tank clean by following the guidelines using a vacuum etc. This will keep the motor from "clogging" up fast. Hope this helps.

Once it's primed properly, water will start flowing immediately. If there's any air at all in the top of the filter assembly where the pump is, it will not pump, or there will be tons of air bubbles. It helps to rock the filter from side to side a little to help get the air out also. Hope this helps. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

Try pushing the prime button while the filter is running. It will help purge the excess air from the system. If it doesn't help, the company that makes the filter is really good about helping you fix any issues with the unit even if it means sending you a replacement. I had a problem with my filter leaking and they sent me another one right away. Since then I have had no issues with the filter.

My pool people says with loud sound , it is on its last leg. Mine was also leaking water. I replaced rather then refurbished.i believe was right move. However if not leaking and working wait till it goes. Bought new pump online ,less money then local. Noise from housing motor !i believe he said.

Yes I had a similar issue when I changed the filter. Call the sevice and they will help you.

If there is a noise, it most likely is the filter mechanism itself is clogged. If you remove the box type thing under the filtering system itself, it most likely is full of yuckety yuck. When you clean this out it will probably be OK. If not it may need replacing. ciao!

I had the same problem, the bottom of the filter where the drain is , not tight enough, I had a hard time to tight it self the glass part and also the water drain screw, make sure you do not over tight, could break easy, at least that was the trouble with mine, hopefully that is with yours, I will not buy this type of filter again

I saw posted somewhere that a different manufacturer's device automatically is set to do this after a certain amount of water has flowed through it. Simply removing and then reseating the filter MIGHT fix the issue, although I can't guarantee it will be the same for this device.

Mine isn't doing this. I would use some very diluted bleach and clean it very well and replace the filter. Search for the dilution you'll need on the bleach and water for cleaning.
